I started writing reviews for The Nameless Zine in 2014, with my first movie reviews posted in June and my first book reviews posted in July. I'm enjoying this and am almost at 300 reviews.
It's a enjoyable site, run by the WesternSFA, but there's no way to see what any reviewer has written. I like to keep track of my reviews, so here's an index page to list all that I've written for the Nameless Zine.

Reel Talk isn't for books at all; it's for reviews of mostly genre related films that are newly released. As these are predominantly mainstream, I wouldn't cover them at Apocalypse Later, though I have reviewed some as part of Monday Night Roundups at Apocalypse Later Now! The Nameless Zine therefore became a place for me to talk trash (or not) about mainstream movies I saw, mostly at the drive-in.

My better half also writes for the Nameless Zine, so I thought I'd index her writing here too. |
